“Useless Friday Info”

It’s that time when we gather around and see what knowledge is being shared from the depths of humanity.

We call it “Useless Friday Info” and here is this week’s edition:

“The Barbie doll was first introduced at a toy fair in New York by the Mattel Company.  The day was March 9, 1959.”

“Barbie’s full name is Barbie Millicent Roberts and she is from Willow, Wisconsin and she went to Willows High School.  Her favorite color is pink.”

“J.J. Audubon’s “The Birds of America” was published in 1840 and is the most valuable book in the world.  It sold for $8,802,500 in March of 2000-the highest price ever paid for a book.

“In 1874, Levi Strauss began selling blue jeans for $13.50 per dozen.”

“The first sneakers were made in 1916 by the U.S. Rubber Company.  They were called Keds.”

“To make a fresh wreath last longer, grab a can of hair spray and spritz it all over as soon as you get it home.  The hair spray traps the moisture in the needles.”

“Do you have a stuffy nose?  Try chewing a couple of curiously strong Altoids peppermints.  They’ll clear up your stuffy nose.”
